Light Switch Covers, Metal Light Switch Covers
Metal light switch covers
Light Switch Covers from Wild Works. Colorful metal switch plates with engraved designs.
Decorative light switch plates and outlet covers will add a distinctive finishing touch to your home's interior.
Karen Boulton and Jonathan Briggs hand craft metal light switch plate covers in their studio in Mount Vernon, Washington. We use copper, brass and aluminum, combined with hand-engraving and patina techniques to craft beautiful and durable light switch covers, outlet covers, and switchplates in every combination. ALL sizes and combinations are possible.
From single switch covers to eight-gang covers, phone jacks, cable covers - we make them all. We can even make the old style push-button covers, and modern data port plates. This is particularly useful if you wish to replace the covers in an entire room or house.
Every switch cover size and configuration is available. If you don't see yours pictured, just ask us. Custom sized covers are made at no extra cost. Work is sealed for durability, and complimenting screws are included.
We are on the road at some of the best craft shows in the West from April-December. We enjoy meeting all of our customers! Check our 2008 Show Schedule to see if we'll be in your area.
We use several metalsmithing techniques to create these unique light switch covers and switch plates.
Engravings
There are 20 patterns of engraved light switch covers, available in seven metal colors. These are made by first darkening the metal, then engraving the pattern through the surface. New color! Eucalyptus Copper.
Patinas
Patina techniques produce light switch covers in earth tones. These patinas are mottled, with no engraving patterns, and will vary a little from one batch of switch plates to another.
Hammers
Using tools with textured heads, the darkened copper and brass light switch covers are hammered, and the raised surface is sanded. This reveals beautiful highlights of pink copper or gold brass, leaving the recessed hammer blows dark.
We welcome orders from Canada.
